Nakumatt Holdings plans to set up shop in Burundi and South Sudan by March 2015, making it the first Kenyan retail chain to enter the two East African emerging markets.
The regional retailer, which has been eying the fledgling economies since 2011, now says it has finalised talks with developers in the two countries where it intends to lease two shopping malls in Bujumbura and Juba.
The supermarket chain wants to export the shopping mall culture to the informal retail markets of Burundi and South Sudan which have low retail penetration dominated by mini-marts and kiosks.
"Potential property developers have already been identified and we will start operations with a single branch each in Bujumbura and Juba," said Atul Shah, managing director Nakumatt Holdings.
"We aim to grow, develop and deepen the retail penetration in these markets," Mr Shah said in an interview with Business Daily.
Nakumatt, which had earlier pegged its regional growth plan on selling about 25 per cent stake to a strategic investor to fund expansion, now says it will roll out into the two countries on its own.
(Read: Nakumatt set for share sale to fund expansion)
"The regional roll-out is not pegged to the resources of a strategic Investor," said Mr Shah, adding that the firm has set aside a Sh1 billion war chest to fund the strategy.
The Bujumbura mall will be developed by Toyota Burundi, and construction is set to begin by mid-year. Nakumatt has booked space at the planned shopping complex as the anchor tenant.
"Nakumatt operates on a lease model for its retail space needs across the region," the firm said.
Nakumatt is ranked Kenya's largest retailer grossing Sh38 billion in sales in the fiscal year ended February 2012.
The firm first ventured into Rwanda in 2008 where it currently has two stores. It has four outlets in Uganda and a single one in Moshi, Tanzania, where it entered in 2011.
The 40-outlet strong supermarket chain joins a growing list of Kenyan companies that have set base in Burundi and South Sudan, two frontier markets that are now coming out as attractive investment destinations after many years of civil strife.
"Burundi is emerging as an attractive market as it has now reviewed its business laws and regulations and harmonised them with that of other EAC member states," said Benjamin Mweri, Kenya's ambassador to Burundi.
"There are a lot of opportunities in the retail sector as there are no large supermarkets in Bujumbura. Some have to travel to Nairobi for a shopping experience," he said in an interview with the Business Daily.
Burundi's retail market is dominated by small shops and independent convenience stores such as Dimitri, Au Bon Prix, Escale du Bien Alimentation, Belladone, Poissonnerie and Bambino.
Listed retailer Uchumi has lined up a Sh1.5 billion rights issue set for the second half of this year to help bankroll local and regional expansion plans. Uchumi, which posted sales worth Sh13.9 billion, last year, has 27 outlets across Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
Tuskys has 45 outlets across Kenya and Uganda and plans to venture into Rwanda.
Financial institutions such as UAP Group, Co-operative, KCB and Equity banks have already set up shop in Africa's newest nation of South Sudan, which has also applied to join the EAC bloc.
Nairobi-headquartered firms operating in Burundi, EAC's smallest economy, include Diamond Trust Bank, KCB Bank, Jubilee Insurance, KenolKobil and Pembe Flour Millers.
TPS Serena is currently putting up a high-end hotel in Bujumbura after the firm acquired the five-star Hotel Source du Nil, sold last year by the Burundian government.
Nakumatt estimates that the average EAC retail penetration stands at 14 per cent, a pointer that the bloc could accommodate franchises and supermarket chains to hook more buyers into the formal retail sector.
In 2012 a Citi Group report graded Kenya as the second most developed retail market in sub-Saharan Africa after South Africa, with a retail penetration of 30 per cent. Kenyan retailers are major rivals for South Africans.

But for Shopify merchants using Mailchimp, getting an email out-of-the-blue this week telling them that there will no longer be a native integration between MailChimp and Shopify might be a real kick in the teeth, poised to change your entire email marketing strategy.
Why have they parted ways?
In a battle over treatment of customer data, Mailchimp announced that the Mailchimp app will be cut off from Shopify's app store effective immediately. Regardless of the reason, the app is no longer available for download, and come May 12, the integration might no longer work for people who are already using it.
If you're one of the 300,000 merchants this affects, you may be wondering what options you have. Or, you might be scrambling to find a new Email Service Provider (ESP).
Wait… do I really need a new email provider?
For a detailed comparison on those three, check out this chart.
If you don't like the idea of using a third-party integration to connect the two (we don't blame you), shopping around for a new ESP may be high on your priority list.
But isn't migrating really hard?
Migrating involves pointing your forms to a new provider, setting up the integration in your Shopify store, and then moving the data (a.k.a. lists) from Mailchimp to the new ESP. The majority of these tools make it easy for you to transfer your contacts over from Mailchimp and integrate to Shopify.
It can get complicated if you have a lot of automation already set up in your Mailchimp. You'll need to recreate these inside your new ESP.
The good news is that there isn't any shortage of ESPs out there. A few popular, good options come to mind: ConvertKit, Drip, Conversio.
But Klaviyo is our #1 choice.
Unlike Mailchimp (and those other options), Klaviyo was built specifically for ecommerce merchants. We're confident in its powerful features that work to bring in more money for merchants; it's automation and deep segmentation help you target the right customer at the right time with highly personalized content.
It also has the tightest integration with Shopify.
We've been working exclusively with Klaviyo for the past four years now, so we are a tad biased here. 🙂 But there's a reason for that. Time and again, we've found it to be the best solution for our clients' needs, and we've made our clients a lot of money using it.
Beardbrand: Triggered flows, segmentation and automation fuse together to create an automated email strategy touching all points of their business: Welcome Sequence, Post-Purchase Sequences and Abandoned Cart emails provide Beardbrand with 10% of their monthly revenue.
Inked Gaming: By segmenting first-time purchasers and return customers, this gaming community has increased their customer lifetime value (CLV) by sending highly-relevant thank you emails. Not only do customers hit reply on these emails, but the personalized product recommendations add additional revenue to their bottom line.
What's so amazing about Klaviyo vs. Mailchimp?
The core difference between Klaviyo and Mailchimp boils down to Klaviyo's ability to sell more of your products.
Personalized cross-selling: Klaviyo's Product Feed tool selects the most relevant product recommendations for each reader by analyzing your store's historical data. You can easily use this feature in any of your emails. It definitely helps cross-sell and get more repeat orders.
Action triggered emails: Klaviyo makes it possible to trigger emails off of a variety of different actions taken by your store visitors. For example, if a customer is browsing around your products and leaves without making a purchase, you can send a follow up email reminding them of the last products they were just looking at.
Take Paleovalley for example: when a shopper goes to the beef stick page and leaves without buying or adding anything to their cart, we send them a browse abandonment email shortly after to educate them on those exact beef sticks they were interested in and bring them back to the store.
Shopify Historical Data: With Klaviyo's Shopify integration, you receive each customer's entire purchase history directly within Klaviyo.
This means you know who bought what products, when they bought them, as well as how often they purchase from your store. This allows you to trigger different communications for different types of behaviors. Hence, you can create a highly effective and personalized email strategy.
For example, you can segment your top customers who have purchased from your store at least 3 times and spent over $500, to send them a little extra love from time to time.
Or you can send an incentive to those customers who haven't bought in a while and need a reason to come back.
Revenue Attribution: Klaviyo tracks revenue attribution for every single email you send. This means you see how successful each email was at generating sales.
You can better understand what type of email works for you, you can set up A/B tests, and you can determine how well your email strategy is performing.
Personalized Upselling: After someone places an order, you can send them a "refill" email that goes out about the time when they would likely need to repurchase these same items.
For example, Beardbrand sends the following message about a month after a purchase. The email includes the last products that each customer bought with the one-click option to add these items to their cart and easily repurchase.
When it comes to this level of personalization, Mailchimp doesn't even come close.
It's important to first integrate Shopify with Klaviyo prior to migrating your data - and this integration can take a few minutes. This is when Klaviyo pulls all historical order data for each customer from Shopify.
Once your data has been moved, you can rest assured knowing it's safe within Klaviyo, and you'll be able to use it straight away.
What is the cost of Klaviyo?
Klaviyo does cost a bit more than Mailchimp. It's a subscriber-based revenue model, so your list will determine how much you'll be paying.
To be fair, some merchants moving from Mailchimp might feel a bit overwhelmed at its interface, since it does involve a learning curve. But once you get the hang out it, it's easy enough to manage.
Finding another ESP to use can feel like a huge hurdle to overcome (and we know you have enough of those already), and we want you to feel confident in your decision to make the move.
If you want to chat more about Klaviyo, and hear about how it can apply to your business, schedule a free phone call with a Klaviyo expert on our team. We'll share how Klaviyo can apply to your business, and discuss how you can create a clearly defined email strategy to start making more money, today.
It should help put your mind at ease as you make this transition from Mailchimp to a new provider.

Q: C++ array pointer I came across a C++ program like this
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    int N = 10;
    int M = 2;
    int a[] = { 2,1,4,3,6,5,8,7,10,9 };
    int(*b)[5] = (int(*)[5]) a;
    for (int i = 0; i<M; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j<N / M; j++) {
            cout << b[i][j] << endl;
        }
    }

    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

The above program's output is 2,1,4,3,6,5,8,7,10,9. It looks like b is an array point. So what does (int(*)[5]) a mean? Can someone help me to explain it?

A: a is an int-array with 10 elements: int [10]. b is a pointer to an int-array with 5 elements: int (*) [5]. b is initialized with the value of a and explicitly casted using the C-style cast: (int(*)[5]) a.
Effectively a is a 1x10 matrix and b is a 2x5 matrix, it is in fact a "reshape" of a into b, with the same content. The "most" dangerous thing here is that the reshape does not perform a deep copy, i.e., changes to b also affect a and vice versa;
The type, here int, is completely irrelevant. Here is an online example, with several different types.

A: Here, a[] is an array of 10 integers. b is a pointer to an array of 5 elements.
int(*b)[5] = (int(*)[5]) a;

In the above statement the address of the array a[] is type-casted to a pointer to an array of 5 elements. Then, b is accessed as a two dimensional array.

A: The statement
int a[] = { 2,1,4,3,6,5,8,7,10,9 };

Looks like this in memory
     +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
a -> | 2 | 1 | 4 | 3 | 6 | 5 | 8 | 7 | 10| 9 |;
     +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
      +0  +1 ...

When you access elements in the array you typically use [] but since a is an address. you can access
elements also using a pointer style offset
a + 2   // address to third int, *(a+2) the actual value `3`

Now by declaring another way to access the 10 integers you can access the memory of a in a different way, the type determines the way you access the memory
int(*b)[5] = (int(*)[5]) a; // compiler, pretend a is of same type

In the above statement b and a refer to the same memory but b is of type pointer to int array of five.
since b is a pointer:
b points to where a starts. doing b++, b now points to middle of a array since declaration of b says it holds only five integers
so
b[0] points to address a + 0
b[0][0] is the value of a + 0 or a[0] alt. *(a + 0)

b[1] points to address a + 5
b[1][0] is the value of a + 5 or a[5] alt. *(a + 5)

Since C normally has no check whether you are going out of bounds the above works.

A: Since b  is a pointer to array of 5 integers so :

*

*b[0] will point to an array of 5 integers stored from location pointed to by b.

*b[1] will point to an array of 5 integers stored from location pointed to by b + (5*sizeof(int)).

Since b has been assigned address of a via typecasting int(*b)[5] = (int(*)[5]) a;, therefore:

*

*b[0] will point to first 5 integers of array a i.e, a[0..4]

*b[1] will point to next 5 integers of array a i.e, a[5..9]
Now,

*

*b[0][0] will give value of 1st element indexed at 0 of array pointed to by b[0] i.e, a[0]

*b[0][1] will give value of 2nd element indexed at 1 of array pointed to by b[0] i.e, a[1]
..
..

*

*b[1][0] will give value of 1st element indexed at 0 of array pointed to by b[1] i.e, a[5]

*b[1][1] will give value of 2nd element indexed at 1 of array pointed to by b[1] i.e, a[6]

A: Int-array a is explicitly initialized to contain 10 elements. The internal representation of the variable a is a pointer to the first element. Writing a[3] is "give me the contents of a with an offset of 3".
The variable b is then created as an array of pointers (length 5) to int (it is not "point" but "pointer", btw). b is initialized with the contents of a, but since a is of a different type, it has to be typecast to the correct type (that is, b's type). Type cast basically means "pretend that the memory of variable a was of a different type". This is here done with a c-style cast
(int(*)[5]) a

All in all, I wouldn't strive to replicate this coding style.
Also, the following code only works if a pointer to int is twice the size of an int, e.g. 64 bit pointer, 32 bit int. Dirty, dirty code.

Keywords: causality, content
Added by: Clotilde Torregrossa, Contributed by: Simon Fokt
Abstract: The project of explaining intentional phenomena in terms of nonintentional phenomena has become a central task in the philosophy of mind.' Since intentional phenomena like believing, desiring, intending have content essentially, the project is one of showing how semantic properties like content can be reconciled with nonsemantic properties like cause. As Jerry A. Fodor put it, The worry about representation is above all that the semantic (and/or the intentional) will prove permanently recalcitrant to integration in the natural order; for example that the semantic/intentional properties of things will fail to supervene upon their physical properties.

Categories: Consciousness and Content, Metaphysics & Epistemology , Philosophy of Mind, Representationalism
Keywords: ambiguity, content, epistemology, experience, figure, gestalt, representationalism
Abstract: Representationalism is the position that the phenomenal character of an experience is either identical with, or supervenes on, the content of that experience. Many representationalists hold that the relevant content of experience is nonconceptual. I propose a counterexample to this form of representationalism that arises from the phenomenon of Gestalt switching, which occurs when viewing ambiguous figures. First, I argue that one does not need to appeal to the conceptual content of experience or to judgements to account for Gestalt switching. I then argue that experiences of certain ambiguous figures are problematic because they have different phenomenal characters but that no difference in the nonconceptual content of these experiences can be identified. I consider three solutions to this problem that have been proposed by both philosophers and psychologists and conclude that none can account for all the ambiguous figures that pose the problem. I conclude that the onus is on representationalists to specify the relevant difference in content or to abandon their position.

Abstract: I propose a counterexample to naturalistic representational theories of phenomenal character. The counterexample is generated by experiences of novel colours reported by Crane and Piantanida. I consider various replies that a representationalist might make, including whether novel colours could be possible colours of objects and whether one can account for novel colours as one would account for binary colours or colour mixtures. I argue that none of these strategies is successful and therefore that one cannot fully explain the nature of the phenomenal character of perceptual experiences using a naturalistic conception of representation

Keywords: content, functions
Added by: Clotilde Torregrossa, Contributed by: Juan R. Loaiza
Publisher's Note: Beginning with a general theory of function applied to body organs, behaviors, customs, and both inner and outer representations, Ruth Millikan argues that the intentionality of language can be described without reference to speaker intentions and that an understanding of the intentionality of thought can and should be divorced from the problem of understanding consciousness. The results support a realist theory of truth and of universals, and open the way for a nonfoundationalist and nonholistic approach to epistemology.
Comment: It is one of the classic in philosophy of mind, philosophy of biology, and even philosophy of science.

Keywords: content, perception
Publisher's Note: What do we see? We are visually conscious of colors and shapes, but are we also visually conscious of complex properties such as being John Malkovich? In this book, Susanna Siegel develops a framework for understanding the contents of visual experience, and argues that these contents involve all sorts of complex properties. Siegel starts by analyzing the notion of the contents of experience, and by arguing that theorists of all stripes should accept that experiences have contents. She then introduces a method for discovering the contents of experience: the method of phenomenal contrast. This method relies only minimally on introspection, and allows rigorous support for claims about experience. She then applies the method to make the case that we are conscious of many kinds of properties, of all sorts of causal properties, and of many other complex properties. She goes on to use the method to help analyze difficult questions about our consciousness of objects and their role in the contents of experience, and to reconceptualize the distinction between perception and sensation. Siegel's results are important for many areas of philosophy, including the philosophy of mind, epistemology, and the philosophy of science. They are also important for the psychology and cognitive neuroscience of vision.

Keywords: content, perception, phenomenology, properties
Added by: Andrea Blomqvist, Contributed by:
Abstract: In discussions of perception and its relation to knowledge, it is common to distinguish what one comes to believe on the basis of perception from the distinctively perceptual basis of one's belief. The distinction can be drawn in terms of propositional contents: there are the contents that a perceiver comes to believe on the basis of her perception, on the one hand; and there are the contents properly attributed to perception itself, on the other. Siegel argues that high-level properties should be attributed to percception itself. That, high-level properties can be the content of perception.
Comment: This paper is interesting to consider in the cognition/perception debate, since high-level properties such as being a natural kind, or emotions and intentions, are normally taken to be features of cognition rather than perception. It raises interesting questions about the relationship between concepts, the content of perception and perceptual experience. It would be good in a third year module on perception.
Taylor, Kenneth A., , . Narrow content functionalism and the mind-body problem
1989, Noûs 23(3): 355-72.
Categories: Inferentialist Accounts of Meaning and Content, Metaphysics & Epistemology , Metaphysics of Mind, Narrow Content, Philosophy of Mind
Keywords: belief, causation, content, functionalism, mind and body, semantics
Added by: Nick Novelli, Contributed by:
Summary: Narrow content functionalism claims that the contents of beliefs are determined by their causal profile. If two belief tokens are of the same causal type, they are of the same semantic type. However, Taylor argues that de dicto semantic types do not supervene on causal types, due to multiple realizability. He establishes this with the thought experiment of "fraternal twin earth", where things are functionally identical but molecularily different.
Comment: This paper shows how Putnam's "twin earth" thought experiment needs to be modified to address narrow content functionalism. Suited to higher-level mind and language courses. Best taught after some more introductory readings on the topic, as those not already familiar with some of the elements may become lost.

Lagos state doctors reject new minimum wage
Doctors in Lagos State, under the aegis of Medical Guild, have rejected the new minimum wage paid to workers by the state government, saying it is below the expectations of civil servants.
Dr Babajide Saheed, Chairman of the Guild, made the doctors' decision known on Monday at a media briefing on the Scientific Conference scheduled to hold on Dec. 3 and 4 in Lagos.
The Medical Guild is the association of doctors under the employment of the Lagos State Government.
Saheed said that not only was the new minimum wage unacceptable, the Guild was not part of the negotiations which was communicated to government, adding that it was still awaiting response.
"You cannot be talking about our salary when we are not there; and when workers started receiving their salaries over the weekend, they were disappointed and unhappy. Not only the doctors, generally, all the civil servants, because the increment was unimaginable and short of expectations. The problem we have identified is high taxation. No matter the amount of increment in the minimum wage, which makes the gross high, but the take home after tax reductions is peanuts. Government should look at that issue and let workers have the benefits of the new minimum wage, and we hope that the state government will listen," he said.
Saheed called for the exemption of tax on call duty paid to doctors, saying it would lighten the tax burden on members of the Guild, as was the practice during the administration of former Gov. Bola Tinubu.
He also called for a review in the retirement age of medical doctors to 65 years, adding that the same had been done for teachers.
The chairman said that to address issues of shortage of medical personnel, exit replacement of staff should be done in phases, with about 25 per cent done by the end of 2019.
According to him, the remaining 75 per cent should be done before the end of the first quarter 2020.
"This is to reduce the pressure of physical and mental exertion on health workers," Saheed said.
He said that improvement in welfare of workers would stem the current brain drain affecting the sector.
Saheed said that incentives like car and housing loans would help to boost morale in the health sector.
Also, Dr Saliu Oseni, Lagos State Chairman of the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), urged the public to treat health workers with respect.
Oseni said that government should be held responsible and accountable for problems of service delivery in the health sector and not the workers.
He also appealed to the Nigerian Police to desist from harassing and arresting medical doctors over deaths of patients, saying the issue might discourage doctors from treating patients if not stopped.

Meat lovers, here it is!!! Your meat and potatoes dish!! Jump up and down! Do a dance! Shake your booty! I've had some requests/complaints/suggestions/bitching that I don't put a lot of meat recipes up on the blog. I started thinking about my meat-eating habits and realized that I don't eat a lot of meat. At least not big hunks of meat like chicken breasts, pork chops, or steaks. Deli meat…now that's another story….
I am a big fan of deli meat (Boar's head deluxe ham come to mommy) which is probably the worst type of meat for you. I am aware of this. Thank you. I probably eat about a 1/2 lb a week so hold your horses before you start your rant. I don't really cook meat too often at home. I eat quite a bit of pasta with veggie sauces, seafood, and sometimes just some rice and steamed veggies. I have my parents to thank for this.
My parents have typically been very healthy eaters. Now they are annoyingly healthy eaters. Honestly, who really eats so healthy?? Um, they do. They are both vegetarians and always forced me to eat a ton of salad and veggies growing up. Even now if I don't eat a salad every day my body feels "off." I'm grateful they instilled in me healthy eating habits. Even though I might not adhere to these so-called healthy eating habits all the time, I am always conscious about my food decisions and what I'm putting into my body.
I am quite content with my meat intake and do crave steaks (and eat them occasionally) but chicken and pork just don't do it for me. Chicken wings? Ok, fine, occasionally. Chicken breast? Eh..usually dry and bland. Pork chops? Nah, don't really like the texture. A cuban lechon? Yes, please. I guess I've just become very selective with how I eat chicken and pork. If it's not prepared in a way that I like (and there aren't many ways)–I'm not eating it.
I did use grass-fed beef for the meatballs (don't roll your eyes) but feel free to use any type. I've used ground turkey for these before in the past.
Bring a pot of salted water to boil and boil potatoes until they are fork tender. You want them soft enough to mash them.
While you're waiting for the water to boil in a large bowl combine the garlic, onion, parsley, egg, and ground beef, and salt/pepper and mix with your hands. Don't overwork the meat too much, just enough to evenly distribute all the ingredients.
Take about a tablespoon of meat, cup in the palm of your hand, put a couple of pieces of mozzarella in the center, and then take some more meat and cover the mozzarella and shape into a meatball. Roll the meatball around in your palms. Make sure it's compact.
Once you finished all the meatballs, dredge in flour. In a large saucepan, heat up a small amount of olive oil over high heat. Once pan is hot place the meatballs and let them sizzle!!
While they're cooking, prepare your mashed potatoes. Use a ricer or masher and combine the potatoes with the milk, butter, and nutmeg. If they're too dry add some more milk. Season with salt/pepper.
Once you've seared the meatballs on both sides, turn the heat to medium and continue to cook. You want the garlic and onions to cook and get soft.
For the asparagus, heat up a grill pan. Mix your asparagus with some EVOO and salt. Place in the hot grill pan and sear them so you get some grill marks on them. I like them a little burnt. It's up to you. These should take about 10 minutes, depending on how thick the asparagus stalks are.


Please use this thread for Las Vegas Rolling Stones 2013 show planning.
someone posts it, if you get here before I do!
I have booked my room at MGM, figuring rates will go up.
A concierge at MGM, didn't have any new info yet.
I got a room for 2 nites and the 11th is atleast $55 more.
Yeah, I bet the room rates will go up higher.
Trying to get a group together for a Vegas trip. Anyone have any tips on securing a few tickets in the pit?
mjaggergirl.. Also got my flight... got my room..what I also don't have is tickets!!
Room, check. Flights, check. Are you all staying at MGM?
Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 2013-04-05 06:07 by angee.
Mmmmm. Lobster burger. Thanks for the tip.
I wish that I could attend this show. The only casino show I've been to was at the Borgata. It was cool - ran into a few band members in the elevators!
Stay at the Tropicana right across the street for much less $$$.
Recently remodeled...it is very nice, less crowded, and probably half the price.
Quite right. Also, for those of you coming from out of town, try any of the hotels on the east side of the strip. There is a monorail that goes between the hotels. I think it's $5 to ride one way. I'm staying at Bally's for one third the price on the Grand. Plus it's centrally located on the strip. Now for the buzz kill. Prostitution is illegal in Cook County and the police take a dim view on public intoxication. I'd hate to see any of my fellow IORR's miss the concert because they spent the night in jail.
Hairball, email me so we can plan on getting together. First drinks on me! You bought the beers at Neil Young. It's my turn.
Once a time and place is finalized, I'll post on this thread so other IORR's find us.
Holy crap Scotty, you have a great memory!
This show in Vegas is a slim possibility for me, as I'll be in Hawaii until May 9th.
It would be crazy (albeit still quite possible), for me to get from L.A. to Vegas on the 10th or 11th.
I'm already missing the Staples show which is no biggie as I'm not too fond of Staples Center, so for now all my chips are on Anaheim.
I already have a reservation at the Ayres Hotel across the street from the Pond, but am waiting anxiously for any ticket info.
With all that said---Vegas is VERY tempting, and I will seriously consider it as MGM is a great venue to see the Stones!
"You got to roll me..."
any lastest up dates when tixs on Sale for LV. Anyone ?
The $85 dollar tickets the band has announced for ALL venues including Vegas will go on sale Monday.
Gotta think all seats will go on sale Monday at 10 now, but not officially announced yet.
I don't think LV is going on sale tomorrow, but you never know.
They would want to announce when to buy tix fairly soon, yes?
They announced on twitter and then answered yes to someones question re all venues on the tour including tba's..
When they say the $85 tickets go on sale Monday 10 a.m. "local time"...what does that mean? Local to the venue? Or do they go on sale all at the same time, which is 7 a.m. Eastern?
Right, saw that last sentence but I thought they meant they will be available for all, whenever they go on sale.
I hope you are right, and not me. I think LV will be later for all seats. I will check, of course.
Hairball, hope you can make it!!!
Just checked, 8:45AM, the Rip-OffMaster website directly and thru the Citibank presale link and both still show MGM and Honda Centre as TBA. A friend has kindly offered to let me use his Citi password and card to access presale tickets for both shows. As the 12th is my birthday, I'm treating myself to a $1200 Pit ticket at MGM and two tickets to Anaheim for the both of us. He's never seen the Stones before and figures this might be his only/last chance.
It's hard to tell what's going on, yeah we don't know, MrDDD, thanks!
...also, I still don't have my ordered Citibank card for any pre-sales.
Good for you, Scotty, HB in advance! I am weighing options.
Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 2013-04-07 19:04 by angee.
Thank you. For those that have never been to MGM, there is a hall leading up to the arena with restaurants/bars on either side. As the date gets closer I'll post suggestions on where we can meet up. As my IORR name is my email address, I was a tad drunk when I first signed up on IORR, feel free to contact me.

Kleinhentz v Harrison & Anor [2020] EWHC 3439 (Ch)
The claimant and the first defendant had lived together for most of the time between 1990 and 2011, although the first defendant denied that they had been in a committed relationship. Upon being asked to leave, the claimant had asserted a beneficial interest in the property in which they lived, and an agreement had been reached whereby he would be paid £250,000 in return for withdrawing that claim. The money in question had not been paid, but the first defendant argued that the conditions necessary for payment had not been met. Deputy Judge Robin Vos found that, taking all the evidence into account, it was clear that the two of them had a long-term, committed relationship which went well beyond being good friends, but the claimant had not had a beneficial interest in the property. The agreement made was binding and valid, but the defendant's obligation to pay was conditional on him receiving a gift or inheritance from his father, and this had not happened. The claims were thus dismissed in their entirety.

Unfounded earthquake rumors spark fear
A resident of Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang, the epicenter of a number of major earthquakes in the past two weeks, is browsing a section of a supermarket that sells instant noodles on Thursday. In Korea noodles are considered a necessary and popular food to stock up on before natural or national disasters. [NEWSIS]
Rumors that stronger earthquakes may hit the North Gyeongsang city of Gyeongju in the next few days are spreading blind fear among residents despite the government and experts' analyses that such conjectures are scientifically ungrounded.
"Three of my neighbors left the town and are headed to their relatives' places in Seoul and Daegu," said a 57-year-old resident of Gyeongju. "We've all heard that stronger earthquakes may be on the way, and I'd leave in a heartbeat, too, if not for the 60 cows on my farm."
Gyeongju was struck by a 5.8-magnitude earthquake on Sept. 12, the strongest since 1978, which was preceded by a 5.1-magnitude foreshock and a 4.2-magnitude aftershock on the same day.
In just one week, the city was hit again with a 4.5-magnitude aftershock on Monday and a 3.5-magnitude aftershock on Wednesday.
As of Thursday afternoon, Gyeongju, a Unesco World Heritage site, has experienced a total of 423 aftershocks, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA).
Yet rumors that larger quakes are on their way are shaking up residents. A chart written in English and Japanese that designates the dates and magnitudes of earthquakes in Korea, Japan and surrounding regions from June to early October went viral on social media this week.
"Not only does the chart correctly point out the dates and magnitudes of the quakes of Sept. 12 and Monday, it predicts more will be coming on Saturday," a user commented. "I sure pray nothing bad happens."
According to the chart, a 6.6-magnitude earthquake will hit Korea on Saturday, and a 6.8-magnitude quake will hit the country next Thursday.
The discussions sparked online even asserted that the mysterious gas-like smell in Busan and Ulsan in July, and the photos of thousands of ants spotted moving along a shore in Busan, are signs of coming quakes.
"Employees here are quite worried after hearing rumors that stronger quakes may be on their way," said a 31-year-old employee of a petrochemical complex in Ulju County, Ulsan, some 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) from Gyeongju. "If an earthquake disrupts the complex, a leakage of poisonous gas could kill people within seconds."
Experts say such rumors do not have scientific ground.
"The most that geologists can predict is the possibility of any coming quakes in years," said Yoon Seong-hyo, professor of earth sciences at Pusan National University. "For example, geologists of California published papers that said the possibility of earthquakes coming before 2020 is at 65 percent."
He added, "So imagine how difficult it would be to predict the exact dates and magnitudes of earthquakes. As for the ants and gas smell in Busan, they don't have much to do with the quakes. Ants move in colonies before and after monsoon seasons, and gases related to earthquakes are colorless and odorless."
The KMA announced on Thursday that the quakes appear to be moving south-southwest. The national weather forecaster corrected its initial reports on the locations of the earthquakes, saying the 5.1-magnitude foreshock on Sept. 12 hit an area 8.2 kilometers south-southwest of Gyeongju, and the 5.8-magnitude quake on the same day hit an area 8.7 kilometers south-southwest of the city.
In analyzing the locations of the hundreds of aftershocks, the KMA concluded that the quakes are moving south-southwest.
"The aftershocks are expected to continue and the KMA does not know when they will cease completely," said Yoo Yong-gyu, head of the Earthquake and Volcano Monitoring Division of the KMA. "The possibility that a quake stronger than the 5.8-magnitude earthquake will hit the region again is very low, but aftershocks of magnitudes 3.0 to 4.0 may occur."

Digitizing Orphan Works: Legal Strategies to Reduce Risks for Open Access to Copyrighted Orphan Works
https://dash.harvard.edu/handle/1/27840430
Reviewed by Chloé Pascual, Archivist & Special Collections Librarian, California State University, Long Beach [PDF Full Text]
The Orphan-Works Project at Harvard Library is a "project to identify no-risk or low-risk strategies for digitizing orphan works for open access, under US copyright law, giving special attention to strategies that do not depend on fair use."[1] In 2015, the project issued a request for proposals "from scholars interested in writing a comprehensive literature review on the question whether there are lawful or low-risk strategies to digitize orphan works for open access under US copyright law, with special attention to methods that do not depend on fair use."[2] In June 2015, David Hansen, clinical assistant professor and faculty research librarian at the University of North Carolina School of Law, was awarded the contract, the result of which is Digitizing Orphan Works. Peter Suber, director of the Harvard Office for Scholarly Communication, supervised the project. The report is edited by Suber and Kyle K. Courtney, program director and copyright advisor for the Harvard Office for Scholarly Communication.
Digitizing Orphan Works is a clear and thorough resource that examines the neglected area of defenses from claims of infringement. The report provides four main sections: "Current Practices," "Legal Defenses for Use of Orphan Works," "Reducing Risk by Minimizing the Likelihood of a Dispute," and "Reducing Risk: Minimize Negative Remedies." For archives professionals interested in copyright issues, the section on current practices will be familiar, as it does go into some detail reiterating the importance of fair use and the predominant defense used by archives in digitization projects. This section will be especially helpful to new professionals unaware of the study's context. However, a broad overview of current best practices can be useful even for those more familiar with copyright and fair use and can provide the appropriate context for understanding the purpose of the report. Digitizers of orphan works in the United States rely almost solely on fair use as a defense against infringement,[3] and a real chance exists that we are overly conservative by failing to make use of other legal arguments.
"Legal Defenses for Use of Orphan Works" considers two defenses the most promising for archives digitizing orphan works: increasing use of the Section 108 on library and archives exceptions, and equitable defenses such as laches. Legal expertise at archives can vary widely by size and focus of institution, so readers with less background in legal issues will be happy to know the author does a good job of making these concepts understandable. One concern I had in reading this section is that applying laches and other equitable defenses might result in unintended consequences. Relatively little copyright-related legal action has targeted libraries and archives,[4] but if courts or legislation recognize equitable defenses that rely on the passage of time or acquiescence by the rights holders, this may not continue to be the case. For instance, owners of trademarks are expected to enforce their intellectual property or risk weakening their claim or possible forfeiture of certain legal remedies.[5] One benefit of allowing copyright holders to sleep on their rights may turn out to be that they have less incentive to be litigious than owners of trademark. While it is outside the scope of Hansen's report, it would be fascinating to see a follow-up analysis examining the likelihood of unintended consequences from expanding the repertoire of legal defenses used by archives and libraries.
In "Reducing Risk by Minimizing the Likelihood of a Dispute," Hansen identifies several defenses that can be the most useful to archives and archives professionals, including the use of "quitclaim grants" (grants that do not require the grantor to warranty that it owns any rights in a work) and broader agreements to obtain permissions. Hansen also discusses gaining permissions through class action settlements and challenging the standing of plaintiffs, but the former is extremely risky and aggressive. The latter may make sense in the case of a claim of infringement, but at the point when one is challenging the standing of a plaintiff, one is much further into a dispute than most institutions would like to be in the first place.
"Reducing Risk: Minimize Negative Remedies" notes several promising strategies for reducing exposure to risk. High statutory damages are the bogeyman for potential digitizers, but some strategies can help to reduce exposure to this risk. These include sovereign immunity for state institutions where applicable, use of unregistered works ineligible for statutory damages, and reliance on Section 504(c), which provides for the remittance of statutory damages for educational users acting in good faith to comply with fair use.
In practical terms, archivists and information professionals can use this report to enhance current digitization practices by bolstering the already well-used application of fair use. Ways to incorporate this report into workflows might include using the strategies listed to develop or enhance priority lists for digitization of orphan works. For institutions interested in beginning such a project, a look at the strategies to limit statutory damages may allay some of the fear that can accompany such an undertaking. This report may also help archivists in dialogue with the institutional counsel they work with to develop appropriate policies and strategies. Overall, Digitizing Orphan Works is an informative, readable, and useful resource that gives readers a clear idea of how risk management strategies and legal defense can apply in practice.

strawberry spiritual meaning
Home / Uncategorized / strawberry spiritual meaning
This is a time to gather and harvest things you've planted earlier this spring. Dream about Strawberry jam – If we are dreaming of strawberry jam, there is a chance that we will have to deal with difficult times. Birthmarks Spiritual Meaning. Rose Quartz is a light shade of pink and is more translucent. SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY. Unripe strawberries in dreams are a sign of sexual dissatisfaction of the partner. If they emerge near the mouth, the person will have a lot of wealth and joy. Read this dream dictionary will explain the spiritual meaning of strawberries in your dreams. Some people thought that it possesses the power in vitalizing the energy of the heart around the breast. The Herbal Tarot features raspberry leaf on the Queen of Wands Card.

Bring back Family Map and Smart Limits!!!!!!!!!!!!
Secure Family Is a TERRIBLE app!
When I saw that there was a solution, I got excited until I realized that the solution wasn't an option to go back to family map.
How do I prevent the child from deleting the app? My daughter has already done this. The answer can't be reinstall the app every time, right? There's a way to lock it down, right? If not, you've a useless product here. You know that, right?
The thing I miss the most about Smart Limits is the ability to monitor the call list and block callers. I want to be able to see who my child is calling. Otherwise I liki the new app. PLEASE add this feature back in.
I am LIVID about the amount of strain this has caused between my teenager and I! To force us to have our kids download an app on their phones that tells them they are going to be tracked, monitored and restricted--is ABSURD. Forcing my child to then "pair" her phone with her parent is nuts. No teenage would be comfortable with that! AT&T-- *I* am the parent. *I* pay $200+ to you every 4 weeks for phones. If I want my teenager to know what I am doing as far as monitoring her phone usage or location, that is my responsibility to let her know. Your app is USELESS!! Kids can simply delete the app, and then what?? There was nothing wrong with Smart Limits. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, and why has this issue been going on for at least 2 months and still isn't fixed?? Do you understand how important it is that parents be able to effectively monitor our children through the phone service that they pay so much for??? It is THIS important--> We've been customers for more than 20 years, and we are leaving AT&T if this isn't fixed by the end of this year. As is my sister, and a co-worker. You guys should get it together quick.
How do I stop texting? It appears that there is no way to control SMS messaging. Is this correct? This app is sooooooo disappointing. Bring back SmartLimits.

Quirks: Forgetful, but very intelligent and caring.
Hair: Jay has mainly straight blonde hair with a darkened highlights and natural light curls.
Eyes: Normal shaped crystal Blue eyes with just a faint hint of green and brown at center.
Clothes: Tends to be found in a solid black tank top and green or black cargo pants.
Personality: Jay is fearless, unless it comes to snakes. In which, she refuses to be within 6 feet of the 'disgusting little creatures'. She fights with almost anyone if she knows that she is right and they are wrong. She keeps to herself, allowing only a few people to really get to know her or get near her. However, once someone does get to know her, she opens up to them like family.
Dreams and Ambitions: To travel the world and experience new things.
Brief History: Jay grew up with a difficult family in a difficult time. She had been born an only child, but when she was 5, her mother gave birth to another little girl. Callen was a perfectly healthy child until she came down with a disease around age 2. Jay watched as her mother and father worked constant hours, only to have them come home and run straight for Callen to monitor the little girl. After a few months of the disease, Callen was better. Her parents began to fight every night after putting the girls to bed over who did what to cause Callen's blindness and who was going to make the doctors find a cure. It didn't take long for Joe to get fed up with being blamed for everything and he left without saying another word. Jay tried to help her mother with her sister, but she really just wanted to go play with other kids from school.
By the time Jay was old enough to go to high school, she had no friends going to the same school. Afraid that she would face the same problems with any new friends, Jay became an outsider. She sat by herself at lunch, did her own group projects and let the other kids just put their names on it, and didn't even bother with going to any school dances. Her sophomore year of high school, her mother passed away. Jay was sixteen and believed she would have to start taking care of her now 11 year old sister. She got a job at a local hunting store where she barely had to talk to anyone and tried to keep her sister and her from getting hungry. A neighbor passed by one day and asked where her mother was, upon hearing about the death the neighbor promptly called Child Protective Services and Callen was removed from Jay's care. CPS told Jay that because she was not of adult age, she could not take care of them both, but would be allowed to stay in her home by herself.
Jay never thought too hard about death, but every once and a while someone would try to start a fight with her about anything at the store. She had no problem kicking them out and refusing business to them, even fighting them herself. However, one day she was cleaning up the store to close and found a snake out by the dumpster. It was too dark to fully see if it was alive, so she threw the trash at it and ran back into the store. The next day, the store owner arrived to find a pile of trash that critters had broken open on top of a dead snake.
Jay still works with the shop owner but hoping to someday see the world, she enlisted with the national guard and became a soldier on the weekends. She hasn't had a chance to leave her home for anywhere exciting with the group, but has earned the nickname "The Chameleon" by her stealth and ability to use a bow and arrow as well as her ability to hide herself easily.
